Writing Assistance

Writing Assistants work with students at all levels of proficiency and at any
stage in the writing process. They have been carefully selected and prepared
through an intensive training program. Writing assistance is available to all
LCC students working on writing projects-not just students in writing classes.
We offer one-on-one and small group writing assistance for students.

Walk-ins are welcome and are handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Appointments are STRONGLY recommended and can be made by calling us or stopping
in during open hours. See our Hours and Appointments
page for more information. On-line writing
assistance is also available.

Tours/Information Sessions

Faculty are welcome to bring their classes into the Writing Center for a tour
during the first three weeks of the fall and spring semesters. Please call or
stop in to set up a time. We ask that you first show your students the
brief
video on our homepage introducing them to Writing
Center services.

Peer Response Video

A video workshop developed by Writing Center staff and designed to teach
students to work effectively in peer response writing groups is available on the
Resources page of our website.

Print Resources for Students

The Writing Center houses a substantial collection of print resources
including dictionaries, thesauri, writing handbooks, MLA and APA manuals,
reading anthologies, textbooks currently used in many of our Writing and English
classes and a variety of handouts. Students do not need an appointment to use
these materials. They may simply stop in during open hours, as space allows. Our
Lead Writing Assistants, who maintain the front office counter, are happy to
assist them in locating the resources they need to use.

"I liked the Writing Center because I learned a lot from those who work
there.Visiting The Writing Center was almost like an additional class for me."

Abraham Alier, Elementary Education Major

"Proof of Visit"

The Writing Center is no longer offering "stickers" to students as proof of
their visits to us. Instead, we encourage faculty who need evidence of
Writing Center visits to ask students for the date and time of their visit, the
first name of the Writing Assistant and a brief description of the assistance
they received. Alternately, a student reflection form is available on our
website for faculty use:
